we're sorry, this call cannot be completed as dialed...

hard to believe
but she shocked me again

i found out that not only did she tell my brother and sister-in-law
(see previous post)
but she also told:
my niece, age 12
my nephew, barely 4
~ and both without consent from their parents
AND while i was hardly 6 weeks pregnant

now if that wasnt enough...
she attended a BABY shower for the lovely wife of one of my friends and,
talk about a new level of inappropriate,
she announced HER news there as well

and since then
has been spreading the news like a big ole f*cking out-of-control wild fire,
all over my hometown

i have nobody left to tell
no announcement to make

she told everybody - all my relatives (beyond those mentioned)
basically EVERYBODY with ears

aaaaand she also did all of this BEFORE our FIRST ultrasound.
plus there is THIS too:
she told everybody that we are having twins ~ W.T.F.?

all of this aforementioned pleasantry i found out
on the same day we had our ultrasound
i cant believe that she could actually take away from the joy of that day
but she did
she put her own little stink on it

and i dont need her stinking up anymore good days

so for the past 2+ weeks my mother has been calling
and coincidentally i am always unavailable to pick up, imagine?!

and y'know, im not sure when ill be picking up either,
but i do know that its not gonna happen any time soon

btw... she just called again,
and actually mentioned that im not returning her calls
holy shit lady - you are an insightful one

so needlesstosay she hasnt even heard the results of our ultrasound,
thats how long ive been screening her calls
thats how long ive been stewing about this

she thinks she knows everything
she thinks she has enough information to share with the world
well then i guess she doesnt need me

and thats JUST fine

now i digress, but once again the decision to move to the farthest point
on the opposite side of the country
is oh soooooo very clear

if i didnt believe so strongly in karma
id tell her:
"there is NO baby or BABIES
there was no heartbeat
its over
thanks for the support
go spread that news now, you asshole"
but i wont

instead my husband says he's going to answer the phone
some day
when im not here
and let her know what he thinks

...gawd, i love him
